DspA from Strongylocentrotus purpuratus: The first biochemically characterized haloalkane dehalogenase of non-microbial origin.

چکیده
Haloalkane dehalogenases are known as bacterial enzymes cleaving a carbon-halogen bond in halogenated compounds. Here we report the first biochemically characterized non-microbial haloalkane dehalogenase DspA from Strongylocentrotus purpuratus. The enzyme shows a preference for terminally brominated hydrocarbons and enantioselectivity towards β-brominated alkanes. Moreover, we identified other putative haloalkane dehalogenases of eukaryotic origin, representing targets for future experiments to discover dehalogenases with novel catalytic properties.

Expression of glycosylated haloalkane dehalogenase LinB in Pichia pastoris.
Heterologous expression of the bacterial enzyme haloalkane dehalogenase LinB from Sphingomonas paucimobilis UT26 in methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris is reported. The haloalkane dehalogenase gene linB was subcloned into the pPICZalphaA vector and integrated into the genome of P. pastoris. The recombinant LinB secreted from the yeast was purified to homogeneity and biochemically characterized...
متن کاملStructure and activity of DmmA, a marine haloalkane dehalogenase.
DmmA is a haloalkane dehalogenase (HLD) identified and characterized from the metagenomic DNA of a marine microbial consortium. Dehalogenase activity was detected with 1,3-dibromopropane as substrate, with steady-state kinetic parameters typical of HLDs (K(m) = 0.24 ± 0.05 mM, k(cat) = 2.4 ± 0.1 s(-1) ). The 2.2-Å crystal structure of DmmA revealed a fold and active site similar to other HLDs...
متن کاملStructure and mechanism of bacterial dehalogenases: different ways to cleave a carbon-halogen bond.
The dehalogenases make use of fundamentally different strategies to cleave carbon-halogen bonds. The structurally characterized haloalkane dehalogenases, haloacid dehalogenases and 4-chlorobenzoate-coenzyme A dehalogenases use substitution mechanisms that proceed via a covalent aspartyl intermediate. Recent X-ray crystallographic analysis of a haloalcohol dehalogenase and a trans-3-chloroacryli...
متن کاملSequence‐ and activity‐based screening of microbial genomes for novel dehalogenases
Dehalogenases are environmentally important enzymes that detoxify organohalogens by cleaving their carbon-halogen bonds. Many microbial genomes harbour enzyme families containing dehalogenases, but a sequence-based identification of genuine dehalogenases with high confidence is challenging because of the low sequence conservation among these enzymes. Furthermore, these protein families harbour ...
متن کاملCloning, biochemical properties, and distribution of mycobacterial haloalkane dehalogenases.
Haloalkane dehalogenases are enzymes that catalyze the cleavage of the carbon-halogen bond by a hydrolytic mechanism. Genomes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. bovis contain at least two open reading frames coding for the polypeptides showing a high sequence similarity with biochemically characterized haloalkane dehalogenases. We describe here the cloning of the haloalkane dehalogenase genes...
